The squirrel didn’t hear me open the door.

Busy digging under the far side of the magnolia tree we were under his radar.

However, Lucy spotted his tail moving and dove out the back door all bark and bluster.

The tomato and eggplant stealing, fuzzy-tailed tree rat jumped straight up into the air about 3 feet and sprinted up the trunk of the tree with Lucy hot on his heels…until she realized she can’t climb a tree and she back flipped to the grass.

Never a dull moment around here.

Sleepy girl had a busy day.
